- the invention relates to an equipment for sorting parcels in a logistics center as described in US 8,919,529 B1 comprising an automated sorting conveyor that can be controlled by a control / command unit to move packages in series. along sorting outlets and directing each package to a certain sorting outlet based on sorting information associated with the package that has been recognized by said control / command unit.
- This conveyor can be mounted high on a platform.
- Each sorting outlet can be equipped with a sorting chute which is in the form of an inclined ramp from the sorting conveyor sorting outlet to the platform below the sorting conveyor.
- Parcel conveyors operating in logistic centers are very sophisticated machines for handling a wide range of parcels. It can be roller conveyor, carpet, belt etc.
- the packages are generally packets, that is to say generally parallelepipedic, and on one side of the parallelepiped is affixed a delivery address of the package that is used for the sorting process.
- a delivery address of the package For example, a digital image of this delivery address can be formed with a portable scanner and sent to the data processing unit for automatic recognition and identification of a sorting output that corresponds to that delivery address in the automatic sorting process.
- a sorting code in the form of a barcode can also be affixed to one side of the package.
- Non-standard packages It may be for example a rolled carpet in the form of a long cylinder or a rigid plate of large size.
- the quantity of substandard packages to be processed in a logistics center can represent a proportion of about 10% of the machinable packages passing through the automatic sorting conveyor.
- the object of the invention is therefore to overcome these various disadvantages.
- the subject of the invention is an equipment for sorting parcels in a logistics center, comprising an automated sorting conveyor mounted in height on a platform with sorting outlets equipped with inclined ramp sorting scrapers from a sorting outlet to the platform below, the equipment further comprising at least one shuttle trolley with wheels suitable for transporting non-standard non-machinable packages in the sorting conveyor, characterized in that the shuttle carriage is controlled for move from a loading point to an unloading point of an extraordinary package passing under inclined ramps.
- said platform of the logistics center comprises a first aisle for the shuttle carriage which runs along the sorting conveyor under the sorting chute and a second aisle for the shuttle carriage which is parallel to the first aisle the second circulation aisle being disposed between the sorting conveyor and said first circulation aisle beneath the sorting chute so that the first conveyor aisle is at a lower height below the sorting exit ramps than the second aisle, the movement of the shuttle carriage between a loading point where a package is loaded on the empty shuttle carriage and an unloading point where said shuttle carriage is unloaded from the package to leave empty is arranged in such a way that said shuttle carriage loaded with the non-standard package takes said second traffic lane to reach said unloading point and said shuttle carriage which leaves empty takes said first traffic lane to reach said loading point.
- said platform of the logistics center may comprise cross aisles for circulating the shuttle carriage, these cross aisles crossing said aisles and extending under the sorting chute.
- the idea underlying the invention is to automate the sorting of off-standard packages with shuttle carts that circulate on platform areas inaccessible to the Operators and therefore poorly exploited to optimize congestion at soil sorting equipment.
- shuttle carriage By shuttle carriage is meant here a trolley on wheels provided with an upper plate adapted to carry a single package, this carriage being moved to the ground by an autonomous motorized shuttle robot moving as shown in the patent document WO2014 / 057182.
- the clear recipient address affixed to a non-standard package or a sorting indication corresponding to this recipient address can be entered when the package is loaded on the shuttle carriage, for example by a camera which forms a digital image of the recipient address or the bar code, this image then being transmitted to the control / command unit for automatic recognition and operation for the automatic sorting of this non-standard package among the other mechanized packages.
- the shuttle carriage comprises on the one hand a trolley with wheels with a tray adapted to carry a package outside the norm and secondly a motorized shuttle robot adapted to dock said carriage and drive it on the move;
- the trolley with wheels may be provided with a plate for carrying an off-standard package which comprises a central part in the form of a channel with a V cross-section and two lateral parts on either side of the central part and which extend in the same horizontal plane;
- the tray body may be formed by two combs arranged in opposition, the teeth of the combs extending parallel to each other of the central portion of the body respectively to the edge of the side portions.
- Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of the platform of a sorting logistics center.
- Figure 2 is a schematic sectional view of the platform of Figure 1.
- Figure 3 illustrates a shuttle robot with a trolley with wheels.
- Figure 4 schematically illustrates a side view of the tray of the trolley with wheels.
- Figure 5 schematically illustrates front view of the tray of the trolley with wheels.
- Figure 6 schematically illustrates a top view of the tray of the cart with wheels. Description of the embodiments
- FIG. 1 very schematically illustrates the topology of a sorting logistics center 1 with a sorting conveyor 2 and sorting outlets here SI, S2, S3.
- the sorting conveyor may be a conveyor belt, roller, carpet or other powered here machinable packages from one of its ends (left in Figure 1) and wherein packages 1 are moved in series flat.
- the sorting conveyor is controlled by a control / command unit 3 adapted to automatically recognize the recipient address of a package and according to a sorting plan orient this package to the corresponding sorting outlet to sort the package.
- the automatic address recognition can be done for example from a digital image of the recipient address affixed to the package that was entered at the time of the introduction of the package 1 in the sorting conveyor 2.
- the sorting conveyor 2 is here raised in height on the platform 5 of the logistics center and each sorting outlet, such as SI, is provided with a sorting chute 4 in the form of an inclined ramp. from the sorting outlet SI of the sorting conveyor to the platform below the sorting conveyor.
- the sorting equipment according to the invention is designed to sort with reduced flow non-machinable packages called non-standard packages referenced HN and illustrated in Figure 1 by a triangle and a circle unlike machinable packages 1 represented by a rectangle.
- These non-standard packages HN are for example packages that have a shape, weight or dimensions that are incompatible with the operating characteristics of the conveyor 2. It may be cylinders, plates, rollers, etc.
- the non-standard HN packages arriving at the point of entry PE of the logistics center (on the left in FIG. 1) are here loaded one by one by an operator on a shuttle wagon 6.
- the recipient address of the non-standard package can be scanned by the Operator and sent to the control / command unit 3 for automatic determination of a corresponding sorting output according to a sorting plan of the machinable packages.
- control / command unit is able to remotely control the movement, on the platform 5 of the logistics center, of the shuttle wagon 6 loaded with the non-standard package HN to direct it here to the sorting outlet of the conveyor of sorting that corresponds to this recipient address in the sorting plan for machinable parcels.
- the platform 5 of the logistics center includes a first 5A circulation aisle for shuttle trucks 6 which runs along the sorting conveyor 2 passing under the sorting chute 4 and a second circulation aisle 5B for the shuttle carriages 6 which is parallel to the first traffic aisle 5A.
- the circulation aisles 5A, 5B cross substantially perpendicular sorting falls.
- the circulation aisle 5B is arranged between the sorting conveyor 2 and the circulation aisle 5A under the sorting chute so that the circulation aisle 5A is at a lower height H1 below the sorting exit ramps. 5B circulation aisle, the ramp height of the circulation aisle 5B is indicated by H2.
- control / control unit 3 is arranged to control the movement of the shuttle carriages 6 on the circulation aisles 5A and 5B between the loading station at the PE inlet of the logistics center where a package is loaded on an empty shuttle carriage and unloading point, here at the free end of a sorting chute 4, where the shuttle carriage 6 is unloaded from the package to start empty to the loading point at the PE inlet.
- the movement of the shuttle carriages 6 is controlled in such a way that the shuttle robot 6 loaded with a non-standard package HN takes the circulation lane 5B where there is the greatest height H2 under the ramp to reach the fall. sorting and in such a way that the shuttle robot which leaves empty takes the aisle 5A of lower height Hl under ramp to reach the loading point at the entrance PE.
- the two traffic aisles are crossed by aisles of 5C crossings borrowed both from the aisle and from the return by the shuttle carriages 6, which allows an optimized routing of the shuttle carriages on the platform 5.
- FIG. 1 illustrates these 5C sleeper lanes in broken lines along the sorting chute, but it must be considered that these 5C sleeper lanes extend according to the invention below the sorting chute to optimize the grip at ground of the equipment.
- the shuttle carriage follows the aisle 5B along the conveyor 2 to the exit S3, then turns at 90 ° and goes along the fall of the exit S3 on the traverse lane 5C up to an unloading point of the out-of-box package manually by an operator or automatically.
- the empty shuttle carriage 6 goes up the cross aisle 5C, then rotates 90 ° to go up the circulation aisle 5A to the entry point PE where it can again be loaded with a package outside the standard HN .
- This arrangement according to the invention contributes to automate the sorting of non-standard packages while optimizing the footprint of the sorting equipment in the logistics center.
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 1 along a sorting chute.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the circulation aisles 5A, 5B, 5C.
- FIG. 2 very schematically shows a shuttle carriage 6 placed on the circulation aisle 5B which is loaded with a non-standard package HN.
- On the circulation aisle 5A there is illustrated another shuttle carriage 6 without an unusual package.
- several shuttle carriages can circulate at the same time on the traffic aisles 5A, 5B and 5C of the logistics center platform to increase the processing speed of off-standard packages with the shuttle carriages 6.
- a shuttle carriage according to the invention may comprise a wheeled trolley indicated by 6A in FIGS. 2 and 3, provided with a plate 7 adapted to support a non-standard package HN and a robot with powered wheels 6B which is able to move on the floor of the platform by being remotely controlled by the control / command unit 5.
- the tray 7 of the shuttle carriage is shown in more detail in FIGS. 4 to 6.
- the plate 7 has a shape designed to be able to carry different packages out of standard of different shapes: elongated cylinders or large diameter plates, parallelograms etc ...
- the plate 7 comprises a central portion 7A in the form of a channel V-shaped cross section and two side portions 7B, 7C on either side of the central portion and which extend in the same horizontal plane.
- the central portion 7A shaped gutter is adapted to carry cylindrical packages.
- the two lateral parts 7B, 7C planes are adapted to carry flat packages of large dimensions.
- the channel of the central portion 7A is disposed below the horizontal plane of the side portions 7B, 7C so that a large flat package resting on the plane of the side portions overlaps the gutter of the central portion.
- the body of the central and lateral portions 7A, 7B, 7C comprises parallel members forming two combs arranged in opposition, the teeth of the combs extending parallel to each other of the central portion. 7A respectively towards the edge of the lateral parts 7B, 7C.
- the body of the central portion 7A may have a perforated structure as illustrated in FIG.
- the comb teeth may be shorter on the ends of the lateral sides than in the middle as shown in Figure 6.
- the plate has on each lateral side eight comb teeth, four in the middle are of greater length. These comb teeth of greater length define the horizontal planes of the lateral parts.
- machinable packages and non-standard packages are therefore grouped together to be loaded together in a truck, which allows a rationalization of the handling of parcels out of the logistics center.
